Craftsman Escondido Concrete and Masonry is a small, hands-on masonry contractor in Escondido, CA. Since 2020 we've been bringing worn brick back and building block, brick and stone walls for homes here and in the cities around us.
Before I started out on my own in Escondido in 2020, I spent years as another mason's right hand. I ran their jobs and learned how to read an old wall and match its mortar. I learned the trade on the tools, and I'm still on the tools most days, because that's where you see what a wall is really telling you.
These days we're best known for bringing worn brick back to life and for building block, brick and stone walls that sit right in a yard. Most people call about crumbling joints, cracked brick or a wall they've been wanting for a while, and plenty call just to ask whether something is worth fixing at all. I care most about doing the fix your wall actually needs, not the one that's easiest to sell. Good masonry should outlast all of us, so I'd rather take the careful way than leave you a problem down the road.
I come out to look at every job myself, and I'm on site running our crew while the work gets done. What we agreed on in your driveway is what gets built, because nothing has to pass through a salesperson or a second set of hands.
Older brick is usually softer than the hardest mortar mixes sold today, so a mix that's too strong can make the brick around it crack and flake. We match the new mortar to your wall instead, so the repair protects the brick it's meant to save.
Some cracks are old, settled and not going anywhere. If that's what your wall has, I'll tell you to keep an eye on it instead of selling you a repair, even when it means there's no job for us.
Call (760) 546-4075 or use our contact form to tell us what you're seeing, whether it's crumbling joints, a cracked brick or a wall you've been wanting. We'll get back to you within one business day to set a time to come look.
I come out, walk the job with you and look at what's really going on before we talk fixes. The estimate is free, it comes in writing and there's no pressure to book. If your home might be historic, we'll ask you to check with the city before scheduling.
If your job needs a permit, we handle the application with the city or county and meet the inspector. Our crew preps, builds and cleans up, and we're licensed and insured, as the state requires on jobs that need a permit or cost $1,000 or more.
